Miyabi Honoka

"Gotta Face Forward! I'm the all-round positive understudy, Miyabi Honoka!"

- Honoka's Stage Introduction Catchphrase

Honoka Miyabi ( ほのか) is one of the current understudies of the 151st Generation. She is also a member of Team K, where she stands as center.

Honoka has had several nicknames, however the one she’s currently the most associated with is Rainbow-chan (ちゃん). Honoka is known to be of the most energetic members in 00, and is also known for her plethora of nicknames she give to others. She is known for playing pranks on other members and her close relationship with Kashita Miyagi.

Appearance
Honoka has medium long, purple hair in a pair of pigtails and pink eyes, and her childlike appearance matches her usual, cheerful behaviour. She is rather tall considering her age. Like all of 00’s members, she has heart shaped lining in her eyes and hair. There is also a star lining in her eyes, the meaning of which is unknown. She does also commonly wear a pair of ribbons that tie her hair up, no matter if they're her own or Kashita Miyagi's.

Anyone who would be asked to describe Honoka's clothing style would say "Chaotic, Fun, and Colours". Honoka uses her clothes to express who she is as a person, and it shows. She loves bright colours, and has on more than one occasion been advised by other members to change into something less of an eyesore. She isn't opposed to pom-poms or an abundance of ribbons, something she constantly wears in her hair.

Personality
Honoka is known to be very spunky and energetic, much like a child. She has become notorious for being one of the biggest pranksters in 00. Usually, she targets Masuda Akari, but every member is aware that no-one is safe. She can tend to be impatient at times too. Generally, Honoka shows very little respect towards her senior members and most staff, as she treats everyone like she would a friend.

A side affect of her being as happy and energetic is that she is really bad with dealing with people who are sad, something she really dislikes as well. Usually, she'll try to crack a joke or otherwise get them to smile if not laugh, but if that fails, she'd not know what to do.

Honoka's personality has been directly influenced by her relationship with Kashita Miyagi. Honoka cares deeply for Miyagi, and constantly tries to make sure that Miyagi is smiling. At the start of her idol career, she acted much more maturely than she has grown to do, because of several reasons; people seemed to enjoy it, she got more comfortable with the spotlight, but above all, she grew more secure as her friendship with Miyagi got stronger.

She is able to completely shed the child persona, and act maturely, if a situation really calls for it - usually if someone insults idols or if she feels as though she can't convey what she wants to otherwise.

Skills
Honoka is very skilled in variety. She has perfect pitch, which makes it easier for her to learn new songs, and is a relatively good singer. She is, however, a better dancer, as she finds it more fun, and the energy to burn.

She is able to ramble on demand, which she has used on more than one occasion to stall someone for a prank.

Her combat skills are practically nonexistent; she has horrible aim with a rifle, doesn't hit hard enough to be good at hand to hand combat, no-one with a sane mind would place Honoka anywhere near something as dangerous as a micsaber unless it was in stun mode. She isn't horrible at LAS maneuvering, but even there she could use some work. Something she is good at, though, is dodging. After all the times she has been made the target for Paintball, her instincts when it comes to incoming projectiles have improved greatly.

History
Honoka has lived on Akibastar her entire life. She has been a diehard fan of AKB0048 from birth, as she was surrounded by it constantly, with both her parents being fans themselves. At a young age, Honoka decided to become a member of 00, and auditioned, despite actually being too young, and got accepted into 00 with her parents' support.

When joining, Honoka was a lot more composed around other members and fans, but as time progressed, she has gradually grown more childish and energetic. She is one of the youngest members ever to win the Senbatsu Sousenkyo.
